    So cutting the gloves to have them replaced is legal?

    Glaskov would've won that bout too. I agree, it's Charles Martin. Total joke of a champ. Stiverne isn't too far off tbh but at least he KOd Arreola for it which is a decent feat.

    Give Eddie Hearn 12 months and we will be getting...

    "Koogs, Dave Allen has come back, he wants to prove all the doubters wrong, he is refreshed, actually he it's like he is starting again, he is a new man, DAVE ALLEN IS TWO FIGTS AWAY FROM FURY, I believe he has the style to cause Fury real problems.."


    You heard It here first

    If it wasn't for his bleeds he'd be higher than #44.

    Not sure about that. Yes he cut easily but he really was quite one dimensional apart from that. I'd rate him about the same as the likes of any short reigning 80s heavyweight champion like Tony Tucker, Greg Page, Bonecrusher Smith, etc.

    The gloves were already torn so Dundee made the tear clearer to the naked eye. Even Cooper did not think he was cheated.

    I think I would put Tony Tucker and the talented Greg Page above Henry Cooper who I would have above Bonecrusher Smith.

    Nobody hit Ali harder, and that includes the likes of Shavers and Foreman, so he had something about him.

    There’s a lot of young kids out there who will be able to knock Fury out when he’s an old man so yes.

    Fair enough, I'd have them all around a similar enough level as it is. Definitely world class, but hardly elite.

    Yeah that something was that wicked left hook which he is famous for.

    Dundee knew what he was doing. Nothing Cooper could've done about it too, think he knew that even though he rightly could've kicked up a stink about it. Fighters tended to be quite magnanimous back then.

    They weren't replaced. The referee asked the timekeeper about a replacement but either they weren't there or weren't given.

    It was likely an attempt at cheating but the time it got him was negligible, probably less than is spent wiping up water or helping an old trainer through the ropes.

    Regarding Tyson Fury, probably depends how long he stays active. If he's going to keep going after the AJ fights then someone will get him eventually, someone born by caesarian to keep up the whole Shakespearean thing he's got going on.

    Oh I know they failed to get them replaced, its just little tricks to stall that are shady as hell. I also forgot he used smelling salts on Ali which were illegal in European boxing back then. Either way he definitely cheated in that corner cos Ali was dead to the world before he came out of it.
